slant. An inquest was held, presided over
by Justice j. Frank Shipley, which rendered
a verdict of death caused by intemperance
and exposure. He was recognized as Thomas
Oursler. He had taken off his clothing and
evidently prepared for bed, but he sought
one from which he was never again to arise.

circumstances, her industry and frugality,
her unassuming and worthy department,
Gained for her the confidence of her neighbors
and friends, who failed not in rendering the
necessary support and comfort that her age
and infrmity demanded whilst living, and not
until the gentle mound was raised above and
over the resting place of her remains, and the
sympathetic sigh OF relatives and friends
mingled with the passing breeze, did the

Everything with US is very quiet, and gem
orally speaking the health of our neighborhood
is reasonably good. Mrs. VIM. Baker and
Mr.. James Bowers are the only exceptions,
both Of whom have been in for some time.
The weather is very changeable, and our pub
lie highways are very muddy. The inclement
weather has greatly retarded outdoor labor,
and many who have such labor to perform are
kept idle.
I'VE are much elated over the enterprising
spirit of Westminster's worthy citizens in be-
half of Carroll countys semi centennial. In
our humble opinion it is just what ought to be
to keep pace with the present day, and to en-
liven the spirit of the rising generation and
encourage them on to higher degrees of ex
cellency Should the day prove fair, and
your honorable and generous committee sue
coed in arranging full programme to suit the
occasion, we feel sure that it will be well rep
resented from this and all parts of the county,
as well as from abroad. We certainly think
that it would be grand and enjoyable sight
TO see 1000 Carroll countians on horseback,
with their horses arrayed to suit the occasion,
and parade through our county town. This,
with the other part of the proposed pro-
gramme, will certainly make an impressive
and lasting impression on the minds of all
who shall witness it to be long RENE mbered,

Judge David Foutz died at the residence of
his nephew, Joseph Foutz, near Uniontown,
on Sunday afternoon last, after an illness of
several weeks. He passed the SSth anniver-
sary of his birth, and had completed one
month and 81 days of his seth year. He was
native of the neighborhood in which he died
and spent all his long years there.
The deceased led an active life and was i
remarkably well preserved man. By industry
and good management he amassed fortune
estimated to exceed $4,000. He loaned
freely to his neighbors and others, and rarely,
if ever, closed mortgage except by the re-
quest of the mortgagor, and his kindness OF
heart often entailed financial loss. he was u
good neighbor and friend, and did many acts
of kindness and charity the world knew not
of His wife, who was Miss Norris, of
Frederick, died many years ago, and he never
married. About year ago he went to live
with his nephew, Mr.. Joseph Foutz, who oc-
eupied one of his farms.
Judge Foutz never held any public positions
in Carroll, although he took an active part in
the contests that led to its organization.
Prior to the formation of Carroll he was a
Judge of the Orphans Court Of Frederick
county.
His funeral took place Wednesday after
noon, and was largely attended. The pail
bearers were John Devilbiss, William Hite-
shew, Reuben Matthias, W. Yingling, Nathan
iel Heck and Michael Weishaar. Services
were conducted by Elder franklin, of the
German Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. L.
D. Valiant, of the NJ. P. Church.

Occasionally a letter from Haight P. o.,

the question is asked ''Where is Haigth. is it a

ed; east by the North Branch of the Patapsco;

are Oakland Church, in which the members
of the NJ. E. and NJ. E. Church, South, alter

post office, kept by Mr.. Haight, for whom the
office is named, and the Oakland school, pres
ided over by Miss Lizzie A. Bennett, who
seems to be very fortunate 'School Marin"

handsome presents from her pupils, among
which was a very elegant lamp from the whole
school, an alligator skin satchel from Master
Louis Bedicker, &C., and on Wednesday last
a very handsome album quilt was presented
to her by Wm. A. Cassell, seventh grade
pupil of high standing. The quilt is the
handiwork OF Mr.. Cassells mother, who is
noted for her beautiful patchwork, and is in
deed a work of art. A surprise party was to
have been the occasion of the presentation,
but that pleasant feature had to be dispensed
with on account of the extreme illness of
Miss Lizzie mother.

An ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.


One of the most agreeable events of the sea-
son was a select reception given by Judge and
Mrs. VIM. L. Smith at their residence, New
Windsor, on the evening of March LIST, in
honor of their niece, Mrs. B. +. Hammaker,
nee Ensor. The entire company spent most
pleasant evening in social converse, which
was more enlivened by the gay, yet sweet
strains of violin and music. Messrs. G. G..
Bixler and Bradley Herring were masters of
their violins, with organ accompaniment,
played by Mrs. f. J. Devilbiss. Every one
deeply appreciated their ''0peratic(?l Force, !"
most especially John Ensor. On the table
was spread perfect array of delicious meats
and delicacies, served in the best style of the
art, and tempting even the chronic dyspeptic
TO dishonor his dyspepsia, and .not count
this time The hospitable host and hostess
assnrnd US that there was plenty, and none of
us ''quenched the spirit" At . seasonable
hour the company repaired to their homes,
feeling that pleasant evening had been theirs.
The names of those present are; Mr.. and
Mrs. Rev. D. NJ. Browning, Mr.. and Mrs

An Elegant Reception.

On Wednesday evening of last week Mr..
and Mrs. Ahdon Carlisle gave an elegant re-
eepton to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hammaker
(nee Ensorl at their handsome residence, in
New Windsor. The hour was five NJ. and
there were about thirty invited guests present.
After most hearty welcome by the host and
hostess, assisted by their charming daughter,
Miss Lulu, all were invited to the dining room
to an elegantly served supper. Succulent
bivalves, as first course, followed by young
chickens, prime ham, plump Maryland bis.
cult and light loaf, with rich golden butter,
made more tempting by the accompanim ent
of choice jelly, were eagerly despatched with
great relish, accompanied by a cup of excel-
lent coffee or fragrant tea. Ample justice
having been done, all repaired to the bril-
liantly lighted parlor, where instrumental and
vocal music was enjoyed. After bidding
adieu TO the kind host and hostess and wish
ing the bride and groom unalloyed happiness
in their beautiful new home in Libertytown,
Frederick county, whittier they will go, the
company left for their homes feeling that
delightful evening had been spent.
